# George, Duke of Saxony

> George the Bearded was Duke of Saxony from 1500 to 1539 and was known for his strong opposition to the Reformation. While the Ernestine line accepted Lutheranism, the Albertines, led by George, resisted religious change. Although he tried to prevent a Lutheran succession, the Act of Settlement of 1499 ensured that, after his death in 1539, Henry IV - a Lutheran - became duke and introduced Lutheranism as the official state religion of the Albertine territories.
